What’s your favourite book?

[Ms Diddles]

sugden hands down. for suspect books i think rob houses one on koz and fishes on lech are pretty good, although admittedly i havent read a whole lot of suspect books.

im going to get hansworths on druitt.

whats the best one on bury?
and kelly?

Hi Abby!

I'm with you on Sugden!

Also, Rob House and Fish for the suspect books.

I'd be interested to know what you think of the Hainsworth book once you have read it.

I'm in no way anti-Druitt as a suspect, but for some reason I just wasn't feeling that book.

I know others disagree, but there are a few really silly mistakes in it as I recall, that kind of put me off.

FYI I read Euan MacPherson on Bury and as I recall quite liked it.

If I had to get rid of my collection and only keep one book, it would be, The Ultimate jtr sourcebook. Hands down, the only book you really need. There are some great books, but only this has the important info.

Great choice fantastic book as you state

[Christian]

Am I cheating by choosing a fiction book? I found 'Time After Time' by Karl Alexander a fun read. Not what you meant though, I think.

No that’s your choice classic

Love the video! Personally Donald Rumbelows Jack the Ripper is my favorite. Sudgen is good if not a bit dry.

The one about Aaron kosminski is the best so far about a singular suspect; Scotland Yards Prime Suspect by Robert House.

Very good choices

Just finished re-reading the graphic novel 'From Hell' which I always enjoy. The story is completely daft but is just done so well. Moore is a brilliant writer and I just love the pictures by Eddie Campbell. It really bring the era to life and humanises some of the characters involved. The portrayal of Abberline is excellent. They is also a vast appendix with explanations for happenings on practically every page, which is also great. The film version does the book, no justice at all.

Brilliant stuff is a great read as you say unlike the movie;(

Hi Christian,

If your asking what's my favourite, based on quality and accuracy or such, it Fido or Sugden. But that's a bit boring. For those personal idiosyncratic reasons, Steve Jones: London The Sinister Side. A great book all round, and my first introduction to Jack The Ripper. And Gin Alley.

Hi Al no just your personal favourite not based on merit facts so on often for nostalgia got you into the case as you have superbly stated!! Good choice by the way sir

I agree totally with Herlock.
one of the first books I read on Jack and memorable and enjoyable all these years later.
shame the theory didn’t stand up to scrutiny as does make a cracking story.
in the Uk we have a film channel called Talking pictures which shows old movies.
recently showed the M Caine mini series which I enjoyed again and keeping a eye out for a film called “
A study of terror “ which I have not seen since a child.
onna similar subject “ what is your favourite documentary?.
I enjoyed the Letchmere one which I thought was well presented and quite detailed .

Have a soft spot for many documentaries some for nostalgia reasons!! The final solution one comes to mind just for The Goulston Street Wenthworth dwellings footage alone!! Secret Identity with Peter Ustinov & Jan Leeming !! Film wise Study In Terror is a 60s Classic!! The lodger again a early film classic!! To many to choose from!!

I haven’t seen A Study In Terror on tv for ages Paul but its for sale on blu-Ray on Amazon for £6.46. Well worth it. I thought John Neville was a very good Holmes.
